Is there any other reason to think you're pregnant?

Yes, it is a symptom of a uti.

No there is no reason. I take my birth control everyday at the same time. I think my sister was trying to scare me. She said I could still get pregnant on birth control.

You can. It's just rare. It sounds like you've been taking it right, so you're not pregnant. Secondly, increased urination does not happen until late in pregnancy, when the fetus and uterus are large and begin pressing on the bladder. Many women think that constant urination is an early sign of pregnancy and it's just not! By the time a woman has to start racing to the bathroom, she's been pregnant for a while and already knows for sure Wink

Once you get a uti you're really likely to get them again Sad . I'd suggest making sure you go pee after you have sex, that helps me a lot. It clears out the urethra in case anything (bacteria) got shoved up there during sex.

Yes, you can get pregnant on birth control. But it's really unlikely especially when you take your pills correctly and aren't taking medication that interferes with them. It sounds like a UTI to me.

Thanks. I've been drinking tons of water and cranberry juice as well as taking cranberry pills. So far it's beginning to feel a little better. I just hate this makes me feel.
